The next release of MythTV will probably have support for 
tv_find_grabbers*, thanks to Stuart Morgan, so you'll be able to use any 
XMLTV grabber (even ones released after a specific version of MythTV).

*This is not a promise--it may be a couple of releases in the future.  
Stuart has been working with the XMLTV devs, and AIUI they still have 
some issues to work out before this will become part of Myth.
